Welcome Parents!

Hope you enjoyed the four day weekend!

We have implemented a new incentive system in the classroom. Students can earn raffle tickets during the school day for positive behavior. Every Friday we will have a raffle! Encourage your children to keep earning those raffle tickets!

We are continuing to work on our reading comprehension and have begun a book club for the entire class two days a week. We are still working with place value in Math. We have completed the final drafts for our "How To Reports." Stop by and take a look at your child's writing some time. In Social Studies we are learning about economics and how money is used in our country. There is a letter going home today asking for parent volunteers for a Career Day at the end of next month!

Welcome Parents!
This week is the first week of the 3rd trimester! Our 2nd graders are now 2/3 of the way to being 3rd graders! We will begin a new unit in Reading, Math, and Social Studies. Students will take the Chapter 5 math test on Monday. Our next unit will be place value into the hundreds. The next unit in Social Studies is "People at Work." Last week, we began a new writing unit that focuses on directions. For example, "How to Make an Ice Cream Sundae."
